As nations and businesses strive to reach net-zero goals, the global green hydrogen market is set to grow exponentially in the coming decades. Here, we pull out the key facts and stats from a major new analysis of the market.
Hydrogen produced by renewable energy burns without pollution and can generate the vast amount of electricity needed by heavy industry and transportation.
An efficient and scalable direct seawater electrolysis method for hydrogen production that addresses the side-reaction and corrosion problems associated with using seawater instead of pure water is demonstrated.

Even Digg technically survived Digg v4 (it's still around BTW). MySpace did not instantly shut down once Facebook got popular. Twitter is dying because we can figure out the direction of where it is headed. Mastodon will be the most popular recipient, but it won't be the only one. It is wrong to describe the migration as a "failure" because it is still on-going.
Thyssenkrupp launched on Monday the long-awaited listing of its hydrogen division Nucera, suggesting its new chief executive intends to waste no time in reviving the fortunes of the embattled conglomerate.
Stellantis and hydrogen mobility firm Hype have recently announced their partnership for the supply and operation of hydrogen-powered vehicles, starting with a first batch of 50 zero-emission, hydrogen-powered PRM taxis in Paris to better meet the needs of people with reduced mobility.
Toray, a leading company in advanced materials and chemicals, has unveiled its plan to triple the sales of its hydrogen-related business to 60 billion yen in fiscal 2025, marking the final year of its medium-term management plan. The company specializes in the development and manufacturing of hydrogen-related products, including...
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Thursday he is pleased that Italy and Germany have agreed to push ahead with work on the construction of a pipeline to transport gas and hydrogen between the two countries.
Toyota believes it will be possible to build a prototype powered by a hydrogen-combustion engine that could challenge for outright victories in the World Endurance Championship from 2026.
Just a few months into a joint innovation project (earlier post), engineers from Bosch Engineering and Ligier Automotive have built a high-performance vehicle with a hydrogen engine. The demonstrator is based on the Ligier JS2 R race car, which was modified for hydrogen operation. The Ligier JS2 RH2 was officially...
Mercedes-Benz has signed a supply agreement with Swedish start-up H2 Green Steel (H2GS) (earlier post) over approximately 50,000 tonnes almost CO₂-free steel per year for its European press shops and deepened its partnership through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the aim to establish a sustainable steel supply chain...

Norway and much of the pro-BEV movement are secret allies of the fossil fuel industry. They are arguably climate change deniers and do not believe in BEVs at all.
This is incredibly weird, because we are told that Norway is a pioneer of green energy, and the pioneer in green transportation. They are the world leaders of BEV adoption. And because BEVs are supposedly the future, we are told that we must all follow in the footsteps of Norway. In some cases, bordering on outright worship of Norway and their policies. Except that none of that jives with the fact that Norway is drilling for oil and gas like crazy.
This is a massive contradiction, and it suggests something that should be obvious: BEV promoters are totally unserious about stopping climate change, and in some cases seem to be working to increase the consumption of fossil fuels. That is because BEVs are nearly irrelevant to the problem of solving climate change, as I have addressed in past posts. It is in reality just another unsustainable idea, and has so many limitations it poses no real chance of displacing conventional cars. This is why Norway keeps drilling for so much more oil and gas. They clearly do not believe that BEVs will displace conventional cars anytime soon.
In truth, the only reason why Norway ever adopted BEVs is because they need to hide the fact that they are a petrostate. Their pro-BEV policies exist distract from the fact that they are one of the most polluting countries on Earth. The real fact is that is their prosperity is entirely due to their oil exports. They even were able to avoid joining the EU because of that. They are in the same situation as UK after Brexit, and would be in deep economic distress right now if it wasn't for their oil. In other words, BEVs are their central form of greenwashing.
This all gets to a basic fact of the entire BEV industry: It is really just a big scam and has no purpose other than to greenwash. People buy them to virtue signal and make it look like they are living a green lifestyle. Sometimes this even happens as the national policy level. There is no interest in actually reducing fossil fuel consumption by its leading supporters. In some cases, they are either climate change deniers themselves or are closely allied with the fossil fuel industry. Hell, as we witness Musk increase shift to hard right-wing views, some bordering on fascism, it's increasingly looking like the whole BEV movement is just a far-right ploy.
In the end, it is hydrogen that will save us from fossil fuel dependency. It is the critical technology that is needed to stop climate change. It can actually replace fossil fuels in nearly all circumstances, and do so in a fully sustainable way. Li-ion batteries cannot do that, and are too expensive to be a viable idea in the first place. BEVs are just a distraction by the rich and fossil fuel industry, and everyone with a brain should be able to see this.
